When some young lovers walk along the trail in a park, they might have the urge to carve their names
When some young lovers walk along the trail in a park, they might have the urge to carve their names/initials and a heart within as a cute expression of their love that could outlast their lifetime. Sometimes cut a little too deep and remove the bark entirely when tracing a heart. In hiking culture, this is considered a dick move who believe in “Leave No Trace Behind”. It damages the tree by disrupting its flow of nutrients and expose itself to insects who could carry pathogens. As a complete ‘homebody’, I found this information new and influenced to rethink trees as flesh. Delicious flesh trees. -- source link
